Got $72,000 lying around? This carbon fiber bathtub could be yours

For those 1%ers out that who have $72,000 burning a hole in their pocket, we have found the perfect Christmas gift for you. Introducing the Corcel carbon fiber luxury bathtub. This bad boy oozes arrogance, and, to be fair, awesomeness. Limited to a run of just 51 pieces, these tubs are sure to fly out the door, so make sure to pre-order yours soon.

As far as aesthetics go, the Corcel would look right at home in the Death Star or maybe in Vader’s summer home, but if black is your thing it will look good in your home as well. Each handmade tub takes about eight weeks to construct, and is made in Austria. It’s composed of carbon fiber, which makes it resistant to normal wear-and-tear, as well as some more substantial punishment.

The tub is about eight-feet long and can hold upwards of eighty-one gallons of water. Perfect for those lazy afternoons where you want to relax your body, light a candle, and read a book. You’ll feel both your troubles and aches drain away, down the flawlessly hand-laid carbon fiber walls of the tub.

Seriously, we have no idea who in their right mind would part with that kind of cash for a bath tub, but you have to appreciate the level of construction and ingenuity involved in such an undertaking. Tubs made of iron and copper (etc.) are great, but you really can’t beat the look of carbon fiber. Good luck matching this with the rest of your bathroom though. Oh wait, spoke too soon… they sell a carbon fiber toilet seat.
